I Love Psychology
I want to share a chilling story with you today.
It can seem a movie but it isn’t..better said, there’s a movie about it, but you know, one of this movie that starts with the label “ based on true event”.
It took place at the beginning of XX century in Spain.
I have seen along my career as a teacher how many problems can develop a kid when his parents consider him as a possession. I know the word possession sound hard but this how a kid is considered many times. As a project in which parents have all the power in. So, you, as a parent, feel free to project your expectations, your desires, your goals, your ideas on the child. Luckily, there are many parents who have common sense enough to respect their kids as unique and with their own personalities and freedom.
The story of Hildegart Rodriguez (baptised as Carmen) and her mother is an extreme case of on one side, an obsession and in the other case, an attempt to take control on someone else’s life.
I see Hildegart’s mum as an sculptor who is making a marvellous statue and when this sculpture, for the effect of magic, like happened with Pinocchio, breaths life and wants to follow her own path, the sculptor consider himself entitled to break the sculpture down.
Many ink ran in that epoch about sanity or insanity of the mother, Aurora.
Hope you enjoy this story and your comment will be very welcome.

A side note: Aurora finished her life in a mental institution taking care of a kitty and then, when the kitty died, taking care of a cloth doll.
